The first of the series, Viking Star was built at the shipyard in Marghera and delivered in 2015, followed by Viking Sea in 2016, Viking Sky and Viking Sun in 2017, all of which were built at the Ancona yard.

The cruise company’s sixth vessel, Viking Jupiter, was floated out just a few weeks ago. Other 10 units will take to the sea from the group’s Italian yards between 2019 and 2027.
